advisors and stakeholders

Playbook Partners

The development of the Playbook involved a wide range of stakeholders and partners. These included academic leaders from various Indiana institutions, employers affiliated with the Indiana Council of Community Mental Health Centers and the Indiana Hospital Association, licensed mental health professionals, and representatives from state agencies such as the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. Additionally, input was gathered from trade associations, community organizations, and other experts in the field. This collaborative approach ensured that the recommendations in the Playbook reflect a broad range of perspectives and have widespread support within the mental health community in Indiana.
